More to be revealed soon!

Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s poignant Before We Say Goodbye, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time?

More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?

The regulars at the magical Cafe Funiculi Funicula are well acquainted with its famous legend and extraordinary, secret menu time-travel offering. Many patrons have reunited with old flames, made amends with estranged family, and visited loved ones. But the journey is not without risks and there are rules to follow. Travellers must have visited the cafe before and most importantly, must return to the present in the time it takes their coffee to go cold.

In the hauntingly beautiful Before We Say Goodbye, Kawaguchi invites us to join his characters as they embark on a journey to revisit one crucial moment in time, as (per series tradition) we meet a new set of visitors:

• The husband with something important left to say

• The woman who couldn’t bid her dog farewell

• The woman who couldn’t answer a proposal

• The daughter who drove her father away . . .

STORM PEGS

9781529038026

HB | £18.99 | 11.07.24 | Picador

In her late twenties, celebrated poet Jen Hadfield moved to the Shetland archipelago to make her life anew.

A scattering of islands at the northernmost point of the United Kingdom, frequently cut off from the mainland by storms, Shetland is a place of Vikings and myths, of ancient languages and old customs, of breathtaking landscapes and violent weather. Storm Pegs is Jen’s love letter to Shetland and to a wilder way of living. In prose as rich and magical as Shetland itself, Hadfield transports readers to the islands as a local; to the remote and beautiful archipelago where she has made her home, and reveals new ways of living at the edge.

Jen is a multiple prize-winning poet and has been awarded the T.S. Eliot Prize, the 2021 Highland Book Prize, the Society of Authors Eric Gregory Award, a Dewar Award, and has been shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Poetry. Jen is a recipient of the 2024 WindhamCampbell Prizes.

How does a delivery driver distribute hundreds of packages in a single day? Why does remote Alaska have such a large airport? Where should we look for elusive serial killers? The answers lie in the crucial connection between maps and maths.

Dr Paulina Rowinska has a PhD in Mathematics of Planet Earth, and in Mapmatics she explores the intersection of mathematics and maps through entertaining stories and illustrations throughout.

Mapmatics shows readers how maps are applied in the real world, from fighting cholera to using them to pinpoint a serial burglar or or how a fun 18th century mathematical conundrum that originated in Russia has led to the most efficient delivery systems for companies like Amazon and UPS.

EIGHTEEN

9781035031283

HB | £22.00 | 15.08.24 | Macmillan

Bestselling author and social media sensation Alice Loxton brings a scintillating new history of Britain, told through eighteen figures in British history at the age of eighteen. In this unconventional and witty history, Alice delves into Britain’s past, from a young Empress Matilda changing the fate of nations, to Richard Burton, the rugby-obsessed teenager who grew up in a Welsh mining town – each journey unveils a different era of Britain.

Seamlessly blending big history with engaging stories of royalty, peasants, writers and entertainers, Eighteen builds a rich mosaic of Britain’s past, inviting a journey of discovery. Looking at the role of class, race and raw ambition, Loxton asks what lessons we can take for modern Britain – and why the answers might not be what you think.

from the sunday times bestselling author of the doll factory, the burial plot is an unstoppable thriller about murder, manipulation, and a young woman trying to wrestle power from the hands of a dangerous man. But he’s always one step ahead . . .

‘This book cements for me that Elizabeth Macneal is easily one of my favourite authors of all time. The Burial Plot , like The Doll Factory The Circus of Wonders , is a masterpiece. The work of a literary genius. Stunning and utterly captivating’ james, waterstones bookseller

The Doll Factory was a Sunday Time s bestseller, a Waterstones book of the month, a Waterstones paperback of the year – and is now a major TV series! The Burial Plot is a brilliant historical cat-and-mouse thriller with all the gothic Victorian atmosphere we've come to associate with Elizabeth Macneal's writing. and pan mac team pick katie bradburn

London, 1839.

Where the cemeteries are full and land is worth more to house the dead than the living, Bonnie and Crawford lead a life of trickery, surviving off ill-gotten coin and nefarious schemes. Until one hot evening, their luck runs out. A man lies in a pool of blood at Bonnie’s feet and now she needs to disappear.

Crawford secures her a position as lady’s maid in a grand house on the Thames, still deep in mourning for its late mistress. As Bonnie comes to understand this family – the eccentric Mr Moncrieff, obsessively drawing mausoleums grand enough for his dead wife, and their peculiar daughter Cissie, scribbling imaginary love letters to herself from the mysterious Lord Duggan – so too does she begin to question what really happened to Mrs Moncrieff and whether her presence here is all part of some dark plan. Because Crawford is watching, and perhaps he is plotting his greatest trick yet . . .

‘Elizabeth writes atmospheric tales that totally draw you in, and The Burial Plot is my favourite book of hers yet!’

Map from The Burial Plot, drawn by Elizabeth Macneal

what inspired you to write the burial plot?

I have always loved walking in cemeteries, filled as they are with fragments of history and past lives.

One day, when I was walking through Tower Hamlets Cemetery, opened in 1841 and now in disrepair, I wondered what it was like to see something this grand being built. The pulleys winching the stones of the chapel into place, the vaults and mausoleums being constructed.

This became both my setting and plot: the cemetery and its income are the high stakes prize for two tricksters.

tell us what you enjoy most about writing books set in Victorian London?

Above all, it’s the ambition of the age that I love writing about: a deeply stratified society is always filled with ordinary people hoping to transcend their situation. It’s what drives Bonnie in her scheme to take over the grand house: this hope of bettering herself, of believing there is a better future waiting for her to step into.

A Q&A WITH ELIZABETH MACNEAL

we sat down with elizabeth to discuss the burial plot, the victorians and making her acting debut on television . . .

what is your favourite line from The Burial Plot and why?

‘These plans were a thing of careful study: every person had their own set place.’

Although this refers to the plans for a beautiful cemetery, so much of the book is about plots and manipulation. All the characters have their own agenda.

how did it feel to have The Doll Factory adapted into a major television series?

It was completely surreal!

I still can’t quite believe that a world that I’d imagined quietly at my desk had been turned into a tangible thing with sets and costumes and actors. My toddler and I even got a cameo role, which was a definite highlight.

if you had to be transported into the world of The Doll Factory Circus of Wonders, or The Burial Plot – which would you choose?

Oh, tough question! I think it would have to be The Burial Plot . I based the strange isolated house on Strawberry Hill House, which I often visit. It’s a warren of small rooms,

its hallways curiously lit by red and blue stainedglass windows. I’d love to wander through the house as it was two-hundred years ago, especially if there were secrets to uncover like in The Burial Plot

'I’ve wanted to write a novel which grips a reader, which keeps them tu rning the pages late into the night, and which surprises them with its twist s'

if your collection of books was ravaged by a fire and you could save only one, what would it be, and why?

When The Doll Factory was published, my husband gave me a first edition of Thackeray’s Vanity Fair . I really treasure it; it is on my top bookshelf, well out of the reach of sticky-fingered toddlers.

can you recommend a historical fiction novel that you think deserves more attention than it received?

I adored The Age of Light by Whitney Scharer.

is there anything you would like booksellers to take away from The Burial Plot and share with customers?

do you have any advice for booksellers that may be aspiring authors? I’d say, practice and be resilient. My debut novel was technically my fourth novel. Just like I didn’t sit down at a pottery wheel for the first time and make a beautiful bowl, so too did I need to spend time practising and understanding how to build a plot, a character, a sentence. But, it was hard!

More than anything, I’ve wanted to write a novel which grips a reader, which keeps them turning the pages late into the night, and which surprises them with its twists. It is a story of murder and manipulation but I wouldn’t say it’s gloomy: so too is it a love story, and about a young woman trying to raise herself in a world that seems set against her.

Try is an irresistibly big-hearted picture book about a friendship between two young boys, inspired by the real-life affection between rugby legends, fundraising heroes and best friends Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield, written with Emma Adams and illustrated by Ben Whitehouse.

In Try, we meet Rob and Kev. They play games together, laugh together and go to school together. They have lots of other friends. But Rob always has Kev. And Kev always has Rob.

When their teacher, Ms Phelps, asks the class to think of their hero, Kev knows exactly who to pick:

the fast, brave and strong captain of the Roaring Bears rugby team! Rob, however, feels unsure. Do heroes really have to be big and strong?

Before long, Rob and Kev start to realise that perhaps being a hero isn’t all about strength and muscles – it’s much, much more than that . . .

Northern heroes, Rob and Kev are national treasures and their story is beloved. Their previous book, With You Every Step, was an instant No. 1 bestseller that sold 25,000 copies in two weeks (UK TCM) – we can’t wait to share Try! 50p from every copy sold goes to charity, shared between the MND Association and Leeds Hospitals Charity.

‘I didn’t think it was possible to love Rob and Kev any more but these two heroes continue to inspire in this gorgeous picture book and show what true friendship really is’

‘We’re really excited about our picture book Try, and can’t wait to see it on the shelves in the bookshops, for children to read and enjoy our story’ Rob Burrow and Kev Sinfield

MY GOOD BRIGHT WOLF

9781035035816 | HB | £16.99 | 29.08.24 | Picador

Sarah Moss, author of the Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller Summerwater and Ghost Wall , which was longlisted for the Women’s Prize, returns this summer. My Good Bright Wolf  is a memoir about thinking and reading, eating and not eating, about privilege and scarcity, about the relationships that form us and the long tentacles of childhood.

Moss confronts all of this in a book that pushes at the boundaries of memoir-writing. Opening in the second person, it narrates contested memories of girlhood at the hands of embattled, distracted parents in a time of disastrous attitudes towards eating and female discipline. By the time she was a teenager, Sarah had developed a dangerous and controlling relationship with food, and that illness returned in adulthood. Now the mother and teacher of young adults, in My Good Bright Wolf she explores a childhood caught in the trap of her parents’ post-war puritanism and second-wave feminism, interrogating what she thought and still thinks, what she read and still reads, and what she did – and still does – with her hard-working body and her furiously turning mind.

Beautiful, audacious, moving and so very funny, Sarah Moss’s memoir is a remarkable exercise in the way a brain turns on itself, and then offers a way out: it is a blindingly brilliant experiment in and celebration of what a creative mind can do.

A LIFE REIMAGINED

9781035037582 | HB | £22.00 | 20.06.24 | Macmillan

In Life Reimagined: My Journey of Hope in the Midst of Loss , actress Jill Halfpenny shares what she has discovered and learnt about grief.

When Jill was four, her father died. He went to play his weekly game of five-a-side football, had a heart attack and never came home. In 2017, in cruelly similar circumstances, Jill’s partner Matt went to a gym class, suffered a cardiac arrest and never returned.

These two tragic events frame Jill’s story in Life Reimagined as she explores dealing with grief as a child and teenager in comparison to her later journey as a partner and mother. When Matt died, Jill committed to processing her grief in ways she hadn’t attempted before.

Life Reimagined is Jill’s space to share what she has discovered and learnt – both about herself and about how we view grief as a society – in the hope that she can help readers feel like they can start to put one foot in front of the other. From trauma can come massive growth and, in this intimate and deeply personal book, Jill talks to you like a best friend, with her characteristic warmth, empathy and compassion, guiding you to find your own way through grief and start to feel excited about life again.

THE GARDEN AGAINST TIME

NAKED PORTRAIT

9781035024919 | HB | £22.00 | 30.05.24 | Picador

From one of our most celebrated and acclaimed contemporary voices, The Garden Against Time is a personal and inventive exploration of culture, confinement and history through the story of Olivia Laing’s sprawling and mysterious English garden.

Laing’s inspiration for the book began back in 2020 when she started to restore a walled garden in Suffolk, an overgrown Eden of unusual plants. The work drew her into an exhilarating investigation of paradise and its long association with gardens. Moving between real and imagined gardens, from Milton’s Paradise Lost to John Clare’s enclosure elegies, from a wartime sanctuary in Italy to a grotesque aristocratic pleasure ground funded by slavery, Laing interrogates the sometimes shocking cost of making paradise on earth.

But the story of the garden doesn’t always enact larger patterns of privilege and exclusion. It’s also a place of rebel outposts and communal dreams. In this book, Laing underpins her own story and the story of many famous gardens in a rich exploration of their hidden histories, abundance and as a way for readers to understand that they are not a place to hide from the world but rather a site of encounter and discovery. This beautiful book is divided into eight chapters, each with an illustration of a plant or flower.

Olivia Laing is a prize-winning non-fiction writer; her most recent title on Picador, Everybody was published in 2021. In 2018 she was awarded the Windham-Campbell Prize for non-fiction. Her first novel, Crudo, was a Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.

Naked Portrait is the searing memoir from Rose Boyt about the relationship with her father, the renowned Lucian Freud, and will appeal to anyone interested in family dynamics, in sexual politics and in art.

At the back of a cupboard, not long after the death of her father, Lucian Freud, Rose Boyt came across an old cardboard box containing hundreds of typed pages, numbered and neatly stacked. It was her halfforgotten diary from 1978, when she was nineteen.

As she remembered it, the portrait she sat for then was benign, the sittings arduous but uncontroversial. But reading the diary, she was shocked. She had completely erased how difficult the process had been, how many of his anecdotes, though entertaining, were way more lurid than she remembered and how unmanageable he could be.

Naked Portrait explores Boyt’s complicated relationship with her adored father, the power imbalance in their relationship and her adulation of him. It is also a viscerally honest account of complex family dynamics, of a difficult childhood and the vulnerability of young women, told with great love and compassion.

‘He wanted to ask her the reason she was here alone, but every question he thought of seemed wrong. It occurred to him that he really wanted to ask if she had thought about him much over the years and if she had ever regretted not staying.’

Author’s handwritten notes

Long Island | Colm Tóibín

‘Like some kind of magician, Colm returns us to a set of characters who feel like friends and immerses us deeply in their lives once again. This is a story of love and regret, of lives lived and choices made and unmade. It envelops the reader as Brooklyn did and makes you care profoundly for the fate of its characters. It feels like a modern

classic’

MARY MOUNT PUBLISHER, PICADOR

It’s fifteen years since Colm Tóibín’s masterpiece, Brooklyn , was published. It won the Costa Novel Award 2009, sold over 350k copies TCM & ICM and was adapted into a hugely successful Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated film starring Saoirse Ronan. Long Island is its exhilarating sequel that transports us to 1970s Long Island, twenty years on from where we last left Eilis and Tony. We are extremely excited to be publishing this brilliant novel, and will have lots of POS materials available for you plus a signed Waterstones Exclusive Edition. If you’d like to read Long Island , please get in touch.

About the author

Colm Tóibín was born in Ireland in 1955. He is the author of ten previous novels, including The Master , Brooklyn , and The Magician , and two collections of stories. He has been three times shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2021, he was awarded the David Cohen Prize for Literature. Tóibín is the current Laureate for Irish Fiction.

A man with an Irish accent knocks on Eilis Fiorello’s door on Long Island and in that moment everything changes. Eilis and Tony have built a secure, happy life here since leaving Brooklyn – perhaps a little stifled by the in-laws so close, but twenty years married and with two children looking towards a good future.

And yet this stranger will reveal something that will make Eilis question the life she has created. For the first time in years she suddenly feels very far from home and the revelation will see her turn towards Ireland once again. Back to her mother. Back to the town and the people she had chosen to leave behind. Did she make the wrong choice marrying Tony all those years ago? Is it too late now to take a different path?

Rory O’Brien

‘Whether you read Brooklyn or not, you’re bound to be swept away by its sequel which is – if possible – even better and more romantic’

From three times Booker-shortlisted author Anita Desai, Rosarita is a beautiful, haunting novel that explores memory, grief, and things unspoken.

A young student sits on a bench in a jardín in San Miguel. Bonita is away from her home in India to learn Spanish. She is alone, somewhere she has never been and has no connection to. It is bliss. And then a woman approaches her. The woman claims to recognize Bonita because she is the spitting image of her mother, who made the same journey from India to Mexico as a young artist. No, says Bonita, my mother didn’t paint. She never travelled to Mexico. But this strange woman insists, and so Bonita follows her. Into a story where Bonita and her mother will move apart and come together, and where the past threatens to flood the present, or re-write it.

Exploring motherhood and marriage, art and self-expression, and the dark tug of familial and national violence, Rosarita is the story of a young woman’s determination to forge her own identity.

The first adult novel Anita Desai has written in over ten years, we are so excited to welcome her onto the Picador list and will launch Rosarita as a major literary moment. Proofs are available now so please request one on the Google form.

BERSERKER!

9781035014316

PB | £10.99 | 23.05.24 Pan

Adrian Edmonson’s Berserker! is the rst and only autobiography from the star behind some of Britain’s bestloved TV, including The Young Ones and Bottom. Adrian is an absolute powerhouse and this autobiography is full of wisdom, nostalgia and uniquely observed humour; with re ections on Rik Mayall, the 1980-1990s alternative comedy scene and his own curious family background. The hardback was an instant success, reaching No. 4 in the charts, and we have no doubt that readers will enjoy the paperback edition!

We meet Hera, who, whilst most often known for enacting vicious, creative revenge on the women – mortal or otherwise – who catch the wandering eye of her husband Zeus, turns out not to be such a villain after all.

We meet Demeter, a mother who will go to any lengths, no matter the cost, to retrieve her daughter Persephone from Hades’ clutches.

And we’ll be introduced to The Furies, three women who will literally go to the ends of the earth to enact bloody vengeance but who, surprisingly, are the goddesses who can teach us the most about the way we live now.

It’s a break from married life back in Cornwall, or even perhaps a fresh start altogether. Debby does not have many demands – only to water the garden, watch for toads, and defrost the odd pie – so Nina is free to explore the city she once called home.

Between scrutinising her son’s online dating developments, navigating the politics of the local pool, and taking detergent advice at the laundrette, this diary of a sixty-year-old runaway reunites us with the inimitable voice of Love, Nina, as the writer becomes, as she puts it, ‘a proper adult’ at last.

TWELFTH KNIGHT

9781035014224 | PB | £8.99 | 06.06.24 | MCB

From Alexene Farol

Follmuth, the author of My Mechanical Romance

(and the New York Times -bestselling author of The Atlas Six , under the penname Olivie Blake) comes Twelfth Knight , a pitch-perfect ‘grumpy meets sunshine’ young adult romantic comedy.

Viola Reyes’ favourite escape from the world is the role-playing game Twelfth Knight, but online spaces aren’t exactly kind to girls like her. So she creates a masculine alter ego, choosing to play as a knight named Cesario to create a safe haven for herself. But when an injury leads one of the school’s top football stars (and class president), Jack Orsino, to the world of Twelfth Knight, Vi is alarmed to discover that their online alter egos – Cesario and Duke Orsino – are surprisingly well-matched.

As the long nights of game-play turn into discussions about life and love, Vi and Jack soon realise they’ve become more than just weapon-wielding characters in an online game. But Vi has been concealing her true identity from Jack, and Jack might just be falling for her offline . . .

This contemporary twist on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night has all the fun of She’s the Man, and the irresistible romance of a noughties romcom. What more could you ask for?!
